SB 376 FISCAL NOTE
AN ACT relative to business tax revenues dedicated to the education trust fund.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Department of Revenue Administration states this bill, as amended by the House (Amendment #2006-1791h), will have no fiscal impact on state, county and local revenue or expenditures.
METHODOLOGY:
The Department indicated this bill changes the distribution of business taxes into the Education Trust Fund to 38% of the combined revenues produced by the business profits and the business enterprise tax. The Department stated 38% is equal to the average amount deposited in the Education Trust Fund over the previous three year period, therefore, this bill will not change the amount deposited in the Education Trust Fund. The Department further stated this bill will clarify and simplify administration of the tax revenues and can be administered without any additional cost.
